England's friendly with Brazil in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday is expected to go ahead despite safety concerns at the recently renovated Maracana stadium.
A court order on Thursday suspended the game but a duty judge later revoked the suspension, a Rio de Janeiro state government statement said.
The state government said it had presented a report showing the stadium complied with safety guidelines.
It had previously failed to deliver the report owing to a "bureaucratic flaw".
"All safety requirements for the friendly between Brazil and England have been complied with and, because of a bureaucratic failure, the appraisal from the public ministry that proves the compliance with the rules on safety at the Maracana have not been sent to Suderj," the Rio government said in a statement.
Suderj is a division of the Rio de Janeiro state authority which is responsible for administrative issues associated with major sports venues.
The iconic 78,000-seat Maracana reopened in April after nearly three years of work updating it for the 2014 World Cup finals.
